A truly beautiful and interesting vintage IWC Aquatimer from the late 1960´s. One of the earliest Aquatimers produced, here from late 1966 or early 1967 according to the serial number. The earliest construction drawings that have been found for this model, the reference 812AD, were from November 1966, and was first publicly shown at the Basel Fair of 1967, although it is possible that some models may have been unveiled and sold before the fair. The watch was proven water resistant to approximately 200 meters and measures 37mm. Of characteristics we find a rotating inner bezel, two crowns and an engraved caseback. The watch is powered by IWC´s automatic Calibre 8541. The earliest Aquatimers are truly uncommon, under appreciated and until Talking Watches with Alfredo Paramico, mostly under-the-radar watches. This watch comes with no accessories,
